I don’t want to be forced to retire or default the match from dehydration.  But I’ve already waited soooooo long.  What should I do if this happens and I really start to feel sluggish?”

Here’s my answer…

How would you like to go through an entire match, without showing any sign of wear and tear, forcing your opponent to deal with your best stuff from racket spin to handshake?

Well, the findings of a new scientific study could be (…and sounds like) an answer to your prayers.

Tennis Nutrition: Try A Banana To Increase Your Tennis Stamina

http://www.tennismindcamp.com/images/bananas_4.jpgExtreme heat is one of the most hated things that a tennis player has to deal with from time to time.

And on the hard courts at the US Open, that surface reflects the heat upwards towards the players, making it an average 15 to 20 degrees hotter for the people working the hardest! Add that to the already increased body heat, and you’ve got a horrible problem.

What I did was, I recently bugged (…tapped into)  the practices of nearly every highly competitive tennis player known to man. It was tricky at first, but it finally worked.


Now, since I couldn’t type out everything from all 1,659,756 players and coaches word for word. I summarized what I saw the most frequently and that was having the most impact.

Want Control? Change Your Tennis Strings To Luxilon!

Can YOU control it when the pace picks up? We all know how important it is to control your shot.  But knowing and doing are two totally different animals.

I mean nobody says, “Watch me hit this one 5 feet out and into the stands.” It just happens. And as a result, the point is lost and/or your promising position had disappeared.

The unfortunate truth is, a large number of players are able to hit pretty…

Rackets and Reasons: Choosing The Best Tennis Rackets For Your Own Game!

Now if you’re a player who’s just starting out, the very idea of having a close bond or connection with your tennis racket is absurd and perhaps disturbing.

You might think anyone who does that has completely gone to the crazy side of the court… if you know what I mean.

After all, the racket is simply a brainless tool to be used and discarded at a whim, entirely dependent on its owner’s commands, right?

Yes, that’s true, you have total and complete control over where…
